Untold Stories of the Fathers of NCIS

Spoilers for 9x24 – Til Death Due Us Part

May 2012

Jackson Gibbs: Stillwater, Pennsylvania

It was a quite day, but is usually was when Leroy Jethro Gibbs wasn't in town... or one of Leroy's enemies. But then Seth came running into Jackson Gibbs' tiny store. Seth may not have been Leroy's biggest fan but he did respect Jack.

"Turn your TV on. Something's going down in Washington!"

Jack did as he was told.

"... it is confirmed that there are still people inside NCIS headquarters, whether there's any survivors is unknown. However what is know is the death count is rising to the double digits, including Jonathan Cole who we previously believed to be on the run..."

Jack knew that if someone was still inside his Leroy would be as well, especially if that someone was a member of his team.

"I have to get to Washington. My boy needs me." Jack paced his store, thinking of the fastest way to get there. Getting into DC was going to be hard, getting anywhere near the base would be down right impossible.

"Jack, I'll drive you down there myself. Just give me an hour to make sure things are covered here. That'll give you time to pack."

The old man stared at the sheriff for a moment, confused. "Thank you, Seth."

Less than an hour later Jack was sitting next to Seth in his police cruiser heading toward Washington DC.

Anthony DiNozzo, Senior: Outside Nice, France

Anthony DiNozzo, Sr. didn't think twice when an old friend invited him on an all expense paid vacation to France. It had been too long since he had been to the country to simply relax. He was always looking for the next money making scheme.

Tony was settling in for a rare night in to watch the evening news. The big story of the day was coming from the United States...

From the Navy Yard in Washington DC.

For a moment Senior felt as though his heart had stopped beating. Without paying attention to the rest of the newscaster's report, Senior dialed his son's cell number. As he feared, there was no answer.

"Tony, what's wrong?" asked Senior's friend. Other than shack of Tony's head, he was ignored. "Tony?"

"I have to get back to the States." He dialed the number to the airport. "Junior, my son, is an federal agent at NCIS."

It took the man a moment to realize why his friend was so agitated. "I'm so sorry."

After many runarounds the woman he was speaking to managed to get him a flight home... stopping in Greenland and Florida where he would change planes to go to Baltimore. Then he would hop on a train to DC.

After that, he had no idea what he was going to do.

Eli David: Tel Aviv, Israel

If there was one thing Eli David prided himself on it was his ability to be aware of everything that was going on around him. Because of that he hated the shock he felt when one of his officers told him that there was an attack in Washington. At the Navy Yard where his only surviving child worked, to be more specific.

For only the second time in many years he was making plans to leave Israel.

"I do not care about who is on my security detail. I very much doubt my life will be in any danger while in the US as no one will know I am there. Just get me a flight!"

Malachi Ben-Gidon made numerous calls and fifteen minutes later he managed to get three tickets to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. It was the only flight to America but it wasn't leaving for another three hours.

Eli made sure that he and his two bodyguards, Malachi and Lait Tuvia, were the first ones on board. There was no point in waiting when the flight was already ten hours long. He only hoped that he didn't have to wait even longer to see Ziva.
